Freeload: 8Ball Ft. MJG, Project Pat, Yung D, Devius, & Juicy J, “This Aint”
- story THE FADER
Never, in the history of area specific posse cuts, has there been a more inaccurate chorus than that of 8Ball and the Memphis All-Stars’ “This Ain’t.” Aside from a steady stream of All-Star freestyles (we see you Starlito!), Tennessee’s been way too quiet, making a song like “This Ain’t” exactly what we want. Ball and JG lead a pack of Memphis grizzlies with too many quotables to quote, but check for the steel drum synth chop of the opening riff from Super Mario Brothers.

Freeload: Bun B f. Rick Ross, David Banner & 8-Ball & MJG, “You’re Everything”
- story THE FADER
In honor of a certain FADER editor with the initials JES, we are putting up the best rap song from 2008 that samples Jodeci and has two dudes she bro’d with in Texas this year. It’s from Bun’s II Trill, which comes out next Tuesday, it features a song-stealing verse from Banner, MJG rapping like he is a deflating balloon, and an 8-Ball verse that is disappointing because it is actually just a list of his friends, but other than that, great song dudes!

Freeload: MJG, “Shades”
- story THE FADER
We’ve been feeling MJG’s gradual transformation into a dude with the most hyperactive, gravelly flow in rap, sounding like Young Jeezy on a pogo stick normally, but less bouncy and more clipped here—relying on a slowed vocal sample to remind us that he wears his sunglasses in the house and in the car and on the street. Looking back on it, we don’t think he’s even exaggerating about that. When is he not wearing sunglasses? We’ll be waiting on the solo album, but no matter what it will never ever be able to touch the cover of Comin Out Hard.
